Schematic of the NanoLockSpray source:
Sample inlet
Spray indexing permits acquisition of sample and LockSpray data in separate
data channels, and the baffle design ensures negligible cross-talk between the
two sprays. The LockSpray data are used to calculate a correction factor for
the mass-scale calibration, which is then applied to the sample data, providing
exact-mass information.
Sample sprayer
You can use the NanoLockSpray source with different NanoFlow sprayers.
For instructions explaining how to set up the sprayers, see
LockSpray sprayer
The LockSpray sprayers for the NanoLockSpray source operate as part of the
instrument's IntelliStart Fluidics system. The LockSpray sprayer is fitted
with a 500 µL pump, and operates at 0.5 µL/min.
You must choose the concentration of the LockSpray reference solution that
gives a suitable ion intensity. Refer to the section on selecting and configuring
